Ron Paul Is No Friend to Progressives
what is interesting to me here is the distinction between not liking a politician because of their beliefs and not liking one because they dont seem to have any. The writer here is arguing both for Ron Paul, but seems more to be attacking his integrity morevthan the fundamentals of libertarianism. i wonder if progressives like him not because they love his stand on things, but actually that he seems to actually have integrity and a political philosophy (which is notvwhat this guy is saying).
